Hi there,

I've been reading a few pages on this thread and viewed a few reviews.

Got me kinda enthousiastic about this project and wanted to do the same for my car !

I was wondering if it was possible to change the OS on the unit like this one :

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120889816372&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123

Is there any guide on converting the unit ?
[Android Head-Units] principino1984:
The Pumpkin guy today told me that the unit with Android 4 is available to sell, he'll give me the auction link asa is online.

anyway... what do you think about this one:

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Andr...bus/1362234563.html?tracelog=back_to_detail_a

I had this answers from the seller:

1.it is a pure andorid

2.it have rds function

3.it have dvb-t tuner build in

4. it can connect rear view camera

I have a big problem on my unit (i802) just installed in the car. I have installe 2 navigation sw:

- Sygic

- TomTom (Italia)

Sygic is a regular sw, I bought the license for my smartphone. When I launch one of the previous SW, but also the Google navigation SW embedded in the Unit, as soon the voice directions are issued, the "music" source in background like radio or mp3 player or disc, will stop and close.

This is annoing....how I can solve the problem ? Thank you in advance.

PS For TomTom Italia, I can select the guidance voices, but I don't hear anything from the speakers!
[Android Head-Units] principino1984:
A few pages ago it was explained to another unit that had your same problem.

I read it and it seems that the only solution is to install IGO Primo, but is not available on the italian Market. Anyone know where to download it ?
[Android Head-Units] kaween:
Sygic works perfectly, but only the older versions (11). Starting 12, all kind of weird problems have popped up with the product, not only on the 802, sadly.
[Android Head-Units] doggy101:
Google it :)
[Android Head-Units] royalhawk2002:
This means that using older version 11 I can use Sygic and radio app togheter ? If this is the case, I coulld use an old version of Sygic with new maps I bought for my smartphone...I suppose! :rolleyes:

Anyone has only the Sygic 11 apk to post here ? I googled it, but nothing!
[Android Head-Units] kaween:
The last version I ran succesfully was 11.1.26 I think. And it has no issues with loosing audio after announcements on the 802. Igo runs too, Navigon is reported to do so too but I haven't tried that one myself yet.

Send me a PM. If you really can't find anything, I'll set you up this evening. :angel:

At moment I am downloading Igo and Sygic 11....if none works I will PM you. Thank you! :laugh::good:
[Android Head-Units] Darkshrimp:
has anyone bought the Pumpkin HU? Just want to hear some real feedback from people... :confused:
[Android Head-Units] adit9989:
IGo Primo works. You can not buy it for now (except if you need Israel or Turkey which is available on market).search for it. Depending of the version you find, you may be able to set which audio channel to use in sys.txt (I set it to Notification in version 9.6.7.318746).On some newer versions this does not work, you will need to lower the volume of radio and player in your system to properly hear directions. Also it was confirmed that Navigon works also. For other Navi software read the posts there are other trying them with or without success. If you never used Igo (not even CE versions) you need to became familiar with how it works first, there are specialized forums for this. Don't expect that you just install the apk and you are set, unlike Sygic it does not auto download it's content, you will need to manually go and set it. There are guides about this on the net, but you need to spend time. Igo has also an enthusiast group of follower, there are skins and schemes available also which change the look and /or opens hidden functionality. Be careful to use skins for your specific version, do not mix and match.

For TTS Igo is using your default Android engine, I was only able to install SVOX which works, but it's not the best one. I was not able to install others which I purchased and use on the phone because they show as incompatible on market.
[Android Head-Units] royalhawk2002:
Ok, downloaded the iGO.v.9.6.29.331894. I will attach the sys.txt here, but I don't understand what I have to edit in order to make it work (Notification). I know IGO because I had it on my previous WINCE Unit. I will try to make an SD and istall...see what happen!
[Android Head-Units] tin2001:
Generally speaking, no. It's got CE6.

While it is technically possible to port Android (or Linux in general), unless you're seriously skilled at working with embedded systems like these, you're going to be far better off simply buying an Android model to start with.
[Android Head-Units] adit9989:
Here it is:

[android]

fullscreen=1

tablet=0

has_physical_home_button=0

navigation_audio_stream=5

;The 3 selects the music stream. Other streams are available by using these values:

;STREAM_ALARM - Value: 4

;STREAM_DTMF - Value: 8

;STREAM_MUSIC - Value: 3

;STREAM_NOTIFICATION - Value: 5

;STREAM_RING - Value: 2

;STREAM_SYSTEM - Value: 1

;STREAM_VOICE_CALL - Value: 0

This works in Primo.9.6.7.318746 but does not work in 9.6.22.xxxxxxxx Did not try in 9.6.29.xxxxxxxx (not using it to many glitches from what I read).Try. maybe you are lucky. If not , stream system is the default from what I know.You can still use it, leve Igo volume but go on settings an lower the default for Radio and Player. You may try a player which mutes itself when TTS works did not try but I think some do this (PowerAmp maybe ?) Idea is you need a higher Igo TTS volume than what's playing (or a way to mute what's playing when TTS works).

---------- Post added at 07:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 PM ----------

True. You need to have the exact hardware specs (all hardware used inside from SoC to GPS. Not all hardware may have open source drivers even if used with Freescale (so you need to be sure you have the binaries).You need to be e very skilled embedded Linux/Android developer (on kernel level development).Even then expect months of work, so except it's a hobby for you forget it.
[Android Head-Units] royalhawk2002:
Installed and modified the sys.txt as for instructions. I had a first problem (solved) about the definition of the IGO directory in SD (navisd). As soon I started the program, it make some auto configuration, but exit with the msg "800x420 resolution not supported, any skin found". What I have to do ?
[Android Head-Units] mihaiolimpiu:
Please HELP Hifimax I802

I downloaded the 1.1 update file, started the upgrade process successfully, but received an error about failed signature.

After I restarted the unit, now my screen shows a penguin in the left corner, and after 1 minute it beeps 3 or more times...

Practically I've bricked my unit. Do you have any idea how, if it's possible to get the unit into upgrade mode?
[Android Head-Units] shunsai:
Good news! I flashed your firmware to my XTRONS unit and it worked! Thanks so much for this!

One thing that gave me trouble though- this system.img was missing any file manager app, so it made installing superuser.apk a PITA. Might I suggest adding one in? I wanted to customize the system.img myself, but I couldn't figure out how to repack it on Linux. If someone could share with me how to do that, I'd be thankful.

As for the startup time after rooting, it was significantly reduced. But then I started reinstalling some of my apps, and it doesn't seem to be that much faster than unrooted now. Still really happy to have more control over my system now! And finally got rid of that crappy iPod app that I have no use for (also using ADW launcher which is really good!).
[Android Head-Units] royalhawk2002:
No lucky with IGO. Tested 2 versions , also 9.6.7.318746 with suggested modifications, but for both I see the initial splash screen and then the app close. Anyone can link here a working copy of IGI Primo or Navigon or Sygic ? Thank you.

Update at 05:00 PM Managed to make IGO Primo 9.6.7.318746 work. I installed the "clean" apk as downloaded and without the sys.txt file. Just added the Italy maps. Everithing is working. I reduced the radio volume to the minimum and put the navigation volume to max in order to hear clerly the directions. I think that a workaround could be done for this problem. I will let you know the updates. If someone wants to try, the package without maps could be found here:

http://lix.in/-d5d056

For me worked version 2!
[Android Head-Units] adit9989:
This is what I use. http://www.share-byte.net/1dev7g The apk contains the modified sys.txt to use audio channel 5 (notification, there is a separate settings for this volume in S150). Use the data.zip atached. You need to clean cache,data, uninstall previous version of IGo.

Also manually delete the created sys.txt on the SD card under iGO folder. Manually delete all "save" folder under the iGo on SD card(you need to do this every time you install a different version).

If works, can try a skin. Copy the skin in content/skin folder (create the folder if not there) http://www.share-byte.net/dYVCk1. Set the skin in setting both for day and for night in settings/display, exit and restart Igo and you should have now additional settings. There are other skins, look for them on the net.
[Android Head-Units] mihaiolimpiu:
Anyone has any ideea? maybe a key combination or something?
[Android Head-Units] royalhawk2002:
Ok i will do a new sd with your files and map. Is this version usable without modify the volume settings in order to hear directions?

Inviato dal mio GT-I9082 con Tapatalk
[Android Head-Units] mihaiolimpiu:
Great news I hope, The unit is not totally bricked, the volume controls work even from the steering wheel, even shows on screen, and found out that HOLDING POWER while resetting the unit somehow LOCKS IT UP (could be a start... some kind of advanced mode? what does it do?)

Still I need help with it, how did you did the upgrade? Just copied the files from the "I802_system upgrade files" to the root of a SD card right?

As the unit hasn't erased it's contents, probably a factory reset would suffice, but how to do it? or how to reinstall everything from scratch? Could someone make a autorun script that gets the unit in firmware update mode (to select the now inaccessible menu option)?
[Android Head-Units] Droid08:
Hi all, read through all 174 pages (no mean feat at my age-getting old sucks) lol, I just bought the same model TD620A but the

MCU is, 2.11.1-1-10-1,

system version is 2.20.21,

Android 2.3.7

Would your build work on my unit?

Many thanks from a pensioner.:D
[Android Head-Units] shunsai:
I have the TD620A and just installed tin2001's rooted firmware and it works fine.

My unit came with MCU 2.10.9-10-1 though, but as far as I can tell, MCU is separate from a system firmware upgrade. Your mileage may vary, but I don't think this upgrade will do any harm. But it would be a good idea to have the stock system files and MCU available if you can get access to them.

One thing I will caution you on- when you do install this rooted firmware, there is no file explorer software preloaded, so you'll need to have access to your wifi to connect to the market to download one. After that, you can find the superuser.apk and install it and your root process should be complete. Hope this helps. I notice there are not too many people who are specifically dealing with the XTRONS TD620A. But it worked for me. Hopefully it will work for you as well.
[Android Head-Units] Droid08:
Thank you for your words of wisdom - it did indeed work, my TD620A is now rooted :D.

I have also changed the blue smd led's for green one's to match my Jeep dashboard lighting :laugh:
[Android Head-Units] shunsai:
Glad to hear it!

Pretty cool mod. How many LEDs were there? Was it a simple operation?
[Android Head-Units] Droid08:
Hi, On the TD620A there are 9 led's and if you are competent at soldering it's quite easy to accomplish...a lot easier than

on a TD610A which has 22 led's and a lot harder to get to.

Just as a tip for you.....you may want to check the pcb's on the back of the screen,its sandwich of 2 single boards BUT they are

only held together with 4 solder points.....on my unit the solder points had separated at one end due to poor soldering, if the other

end had separated the smaller board would be free floating and could cause damage.
[Android Head-Units] royalhawk2002:
Hallo, has your unit the "Jeep" logo at boot ? If yes, could you please see if in the "bootlogo" directory of your unit are present a "Jeep.png" and "Jeep.rle" files ? I need this 2 files in order to add the Jeep logo to my unit and I will be glad if you can post it to me ! :)

---------- Post added at 07:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 AM ----------

Just a question, wich Android Version is this firmware ? I would like to know because my unit have version 2.3.4 and, for what I understand, the units in the forum has Android 2.3.7
[Android Head-Units] blue swede:
Have you tried to press the reset button on the unit?
[Android Head-Units] mihaiolimpiu:
S150 I802 upgrade failure

Yes, I tried:

Resetting normally - restarts the unit

Holding every button (or a combination) while resetting - restarts the unit

Holding a button while touching the screen - restarts the unit

HOLDING POWER + RESET - White screen and the unit locks up (this could be something, but don't know what to do further)

Later EDIT:

I found the info on how to flash the main board if it's SMDKV210 produced by Samsung. It's in the file that I attached!

Pretty laborious work, considering that I've got to open the car up again, cut the wires again, open the unit totally, then find I don't know what switch, connect to USB, execute fastboot etc...

Is it possible to connect the USB ports to a computer using a PC-PC USB cable, What do you know, ADB works? If I can get to execute the fastboot command I'm all set!
[Android Head-Units] mihaiolimpiu:
S150 I802 upgrade failure

From what I've read the USB ports that we have access normally are all HOST mode but, according to the internet documentation the board should have a USB OTG lead, it could be wired or not, but it seems that the only solution is to open up the unit to find the leads, connect to it or if a mini USB connection is present, connect directly to te USB OTG port.

If I do that, I'll extend the connection outside the unit for further flashing/investigation.

If the board has no USB OTG lead, there is still the solution to switch to SD booting, actually what it does when upgrading the board.

I also linked a similar (not the same) board user manual, that describes how to configure the board in great detail, actually I think that by using this we could easily flash android 4.0 to our devices, but it will take some further work to do, and I'm not in the mood to do that...

[Android Head-Units] adit9989:
I think OUKU (Freescale) units are on 2.3.7. S150(Samsung) is on 2.3.4.I would not bother with that "update", it could even not be an update only the firmware already included. Are you sure it's a newer build than the one already in ? Remember, without a working recovery, you risk bricking your unit.
[Android Head-Units] mihaiolimpiu:
S150 I802 Software Upgrade

I OPENED UP THE BOX, I think I got an unbrick procedure, but it involves heavy dismantling, un/soldering chips, if someone has the S150 - I802, I CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH: DON'T UPGRADE!

THERE IS NO USB or SD/NAND SWITCH inside as I first thought!

The Unbricking procedure is a PITA! After I'll Hopefully done it, if successful I'll post a tutorial on how to do the unbricking, BUT again, STOP UPGRADING your radio, IT'S NOT WORTH IT, VERY HIGH RISK PROCEDURE!
[Android Head-Units] kaween:
Agree. Without a working recovery, blindly experimenting on the S150 is dangerous as ****. Even the "mod the Adhoc" thing wasn't something I felt very comfortable with, and I strongly advise against "poking in the dark with a broomstick".

That said, I hope you find a way to revive your unit !
[Android Head-Units] mihaiolimpiu:
Ok, I'm in the process of acquiring access to the OTG bus, the S150 is actually 2 parts each with it's own processor and memory (at first glance).

I've got access to the secondary (I think it's MCU - Main Control Unit?!) trough USB but it shows me the VCDC - the virtual 20 DISC MAGAZINE formatted FAT 2 GB capacity. It's of no interest to me but still interesting. Disconnecting the SMDKV210 has no effect on this drive so I concluded it's actually two devices in one with two processors, memory, RAM etc...

The main board with the SMDKV210 Processor is actually on the back of the screen, and under that board I found some test points labeled OTG like this:

OTG_BUS-125 (It should be +5V)

OTG_ID-125 (I'll connect to Ground if necessary)

OTG_DP-124 (D+ ?? needs testing)

OTG_DM-123 (D- ?? needs testing)

I should get access to ADB maybe ??
[Android Head-Units] adit9989:
The MCU is probably a low power CPU (can be ARM based also) which does not run an OS but has his own independent simple main loop and interrupt based software. Probably controls a series of peripherals (like the radio) and has some way to communicate with the main CPU which runs in Android. Quite common design. You are right getting access to this one it's not what you want.

They do need to have access to adb (device mode) during development, so let's hope that once you get the OTG working you are getting close. What I'm afraid is that like with any Android device you will need drivers, and also your unit is probably stacked on fastboot or something like this as does not boot to the OS. To bad you can not get in touch with some developers for the main board, I understand that it's not specific to this device, there are other devices using it.For drivers if you don't get something specific try the PdaNet ones, it looks like those work with a large number of Android devices (using them for Nexus 7).

Recovery SD image BOOT (S150)

Few weeks ago I received a stock SD image with the boot loader and used it to restore my unit. It worked for me.

I'll send required software and instructions in few hours.

It should help you to solve your lockup.

Hope this will help you.:laugh:
[Android Head-Units] mihaiolimpiu:
Oh, My god, this would be seriously great! Thank you, Thank You, Thank You!

On the other note, the OTG USB is now working, it's recognised as: "S5P OTG-USB" I only need the drivers for it to have a working ADB USB port!

Later edit: Tsk, tsk, It seems to be pretty hard to find a working driver for this... I really tried everything and still no go! The Device Cannot start!

Any other ideas while waiting for bypo?

From the documentation it uses android_winusb.inf so it should load using default google drivers...
[Android Head-Units] adit9989:
Can you upload this somewhere, and the instructions and make it public ? I would feel better if I know that in case something happens with my unit I can restore it. Just in case... Thanks.

---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

Download this kit: http://www.wugfresh.com/. It's for Nexus devices but after it install go in Drivers subfolder and you will find a folder with Universal drivers and another with PdaNet drivers. Try those (I use PdaNet for Nexus) they are supposed to be "Universal" ADB drivers. See if it works.
[Android Head-Units] bypo:
Good Job! I'd like to see your work on OTG USB connection... Could you please make some pictures?

As promised, here is I802 update software:

http://ul.to/khtg47f2

You need Ubuntu Linux and a blank micro sd card

There are 2 directories in zip file:

i802_sd_recovery

SD card instruction

"SD card instruction" directory contains boot loader and boot loader installation script on SD card.

You should read readme.txt instructions (it's chinese, however google translate is your friend).

Then move i802_sd_recovery contents into winca directory on sd card.

Unmount sd card from your linux workstation and put it in i802 gps slot (left one).

Turn on i802 unit and update should begin.

If not, try holding reset and power button with sd card inserted for few secs.

Let me know!
[Android Head-Units] mihaiolimpiu:
No problem, I have the pictures already taken, I still need to label them or something but if you want I can make them available right now!

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B0uaaYnRj1ejVWE5VUliRHVQak0&usp=sharing

In this dir I've posted the box taken apart the photos you are interested are:

Imag1165.jpg - the bottom 5 pins that are somewhat in the center of the picture are from left to right:

GND DataWhite DataGreen SENSE Vbus (Sense PIN doesn't need to be wired)

In Imag1172.jpg You can see how it's wired, except I had crossed the Data Wires!

In Imag 1150 and 1151, the 6 holes port labeled CN3 - USB on the secondary board is in fact the virtual CD magasine and watching from above the board the pins are from left to right:

x x DataGreen DataWhite GND +5v

The radio is real easy to take apart once you do it once, it's a mod that will become very popular if we manage to find a working driver :). The USB cable was introduced in the radio trough one of the DigitalAntenna slots, they are not used in my box.

I'll put together a tutorial later, these are the raw images :)

I802 S150 SD Recovery WORKS!!!

And it's ALIVE, The solution works!

I used BackTrack 5 R3 ;) Live CD... every linux distribution works.

I already tried this solution before, ofcourse with another partition layout (I was desperate :)) and of course in SD slot not MAP slot! :)

It's the recovery method for the COBY tablets, based on the same chip, I already tried pin 7-8 shorting to make NAND inaccesible, but without the SD you just provided and the recovery, everything was a bust!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I'll test the USB more tomorrow after I put my car together maybe it changed something on the USB front...

Later Edit - Differences from my old firmware 2012.10:

- Live Wallpaper - This is great!

- Volume notification is now integrated in the UPPER statusbar and integrates some graphics(it was in the bottom until now only text)

- Ket Light type: 1,2,3 (didn't do anything) now is gone from system menu!

- A new App - Magic connect or something like that...

There could be other differences, but until now this is it!
[Android Head-Units] bypo:
I'm happy you was able to recover your device!

I notice you have some great hardware skills and we could join forces to develop and/or customize this great unit.

I have some other recovery images I've not tried yet.

One of those has android 4.0.4 version inside, however it's not complete. Some functions are not working and

interface is not completely translated: it's still in chinese language.

I had some experiences trying to compile ft232 driver for my OBD interface without success.

Android is completely locked. Bootloader is locked, kernel has been compiled with modversions so i was unable

to insert it into firmware.

What do you think?
[Android Head-Units] mihaiolimpiu:
I have no problem in that, but my skills with android are close to zero (as a developer), what I know in hardware is a little rusty but it works for my needs. I took time off from work to repair my unit but usually I have very little time at my disposal so I'll have to decline your offer. I'll help where I can, I'll share what I find, but that's the most I can do!

Also my setup doesn't allow me to take the unit off very easily (I have to dismantle the whole dashboard) so unfortunately it will be more of a nuisance to try to find some more mods or different access points.
